Ministry Focus

Counseling

 

In a sinful world, life often hurts. Broken relationships, addictive behaviors, and overwhelming emotions can take their toll and make our lives seem unmanageable. In moments like these, we need someone who will come alongside us and apply the truths of God’s Word to the broken areas of our lives so we can begin to enjoy the freedom Christ has for us. That’s the essence of Biblical counseling, and it’s desperately needed on the mission field.

Use Your Love for Counseling on the Mission Field

From talking to a poverty-stricken mother about the truth of abortion, to training national pastors on how to listen to their congregations, Biblical counseling helps bring God’s Word into the lives of people who need it. It also provides important and necessary support to many other ministries, including:

  • Addiction counseling
  • Church planting
  • Healthcare clinics
  • Marriage counseling
  • Men and women’s ministries
  • Pastoral training
  • Pregnancy counseling
  • Seminaries
  • Youth ministries

If you are passionate about sharing God’s love with hurting people on the mission field, we’d love to speak with you.

 

Is God calling you to use your skills on the mission field?
